24F, 5’2, 220lb. My highest wait was 230 in January. I’ve been seesawing in the mid 220s for a while now and last Wednesday I weighed in at 217. I was so excited because I haven’t been under 220 for a couple of years. Given my nutritionist’s advice, I’ve been consuming 1200 calories and exercising 4-5 days a week. After talking to a friend, she suggested I go up to 1300 calories because 1200 isn’t enough. So I’ve been at 1300 for about 3-4 weeks. I would think that I’d be dropping weight more consistently than that (at least .5-1lb a week) but I feel so defeated because this morning I weighed in at 220 again. So what am I doing wrong? I track my calories in the Lose It app. I use a food scale to measure o my portions. Ive been exercising consistently. Something is not adding up and it’s sounds quite dramatic but I’m near tears writing this because I come onto this sub to see before and after pictures and I think “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I do that?” Its so frustrating when your whole life has been about your weight controlling everything. I’m not expecting dramatic weight loss overnight, but I should at least be moving in the right direction. Should I lower my calories more? I’m really not sure what to do here.
